Hi Please forgive me - NEWBIE ALERT - joined the forum in 2012 but don’t use them (reasons too boring).
Just wanted to mention I have recently installed a 500AH Elite lithium system in our 5th wheel with 6 solar panels and if anyone considering doing the same wants to read the story, here’s a link if I’m allowed to put it here?! Sorry if I’m breaking any rules, or off-topic, I just hope it might be of help to people! http://www.kimartanddesign.com/Daves/JourneyToLithium.htm
Just read your install and it seems you had some hurtles to overcome. Once you're out boondocking and giving the system a true work out (if that's possible with 500ah Lifepo4) you'll be able to answer that question "was it worth it?" With hell yea.
After 29 months of which 27 months all boondocking no hookups with no regrets for the extra expense. Enjoy your Lifepo4 setup.;)
